Why I Swear by Meal Planning
I started meal planning to save time, but honestly, it keeps me sane. When life feels busy and unpredictable, having dinner figured out is one less thing to stress about. Here’s why it works:
- Save money: Groceries aren’t getting any cheaper. Planning ahead means fewer random purchases and less wasted food.
- Save time: No more 5 PM fridge stares or last-minute “what’s for dinner?” panic.
- Eat better: When the plan’s in place, you’re way less likely to grab fast food out of desperation.
Each weekly plan includes a free printable grocery list that’s already measured and organized. Just print it, grab what you need, and you’re gonna love how much easier and put-together your life will feel!
What to Serve with This Week’s Meals
Storing Leftovers for Meal Planning
I only plan dinners Monday through Friday. Weekends are our time to relax, be spontaneous, or treat ourselves to something fun. If you’ve got leftovers from the week, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy a no-cook night when you need it most.
